Four and twenty years ago
I come into this life
The son of a woman and a man who lived in strife
He was tired of being poor
And he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like the devil to be more

A different kind of poverty now upsets me so
Night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know
Why am I so alone?
Where is my woman, can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away? Is she gone?

Morning comes to sunrise and I'm driven to my bed
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head
I embrace the many colored beast
I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease

Mar Y Cielo Y Cielo Y Mar


Mar Y Cielo Y Cielo Y Mar
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Cada palabra tuya en una fruta
que suena llena de aromas de mar
Te quiero sólo porque sabes la ruta
que va del fuego hasta la soledad

Aunque eres blanca con palmeras azules
regalas un aire que se acerca y huye

Te advierto que
no sé vivir sin estar
colgado de los brazos de la luna y de
las olas que contar

Pero somos así mar y cielo
Pero somos así mar y cielo y mar
Pero somos así mar y cielo y cielo y mar
Pero somos así mar y cielo

Quiero seguirte hasta el lago escondido
en una gruta de prodigio y paz
Me gusta estar donde nada he perdido
alegres horas de salitre y cal

Arena eres blanca con palmeras azules
regalas un aires que se acerca y huye

Hoy tengo fiebre porque
me asombras que me quieras
y veo transparentes
tus sueños de hechicera

Pero somos así mar y cielo
Pero somos así mar y cielo y mar
Pero somos así mar y cielo y cielo y mar
Pero somos así mar y cielo

4 Am


4 Am
Composer(s): Mike Barson; McPherson
Performer(s): Madness



Terry turns, he just cannot sleep
From the ceaseless noise out on the street
It's too hot, it’s too late
There's nothing he can do but wait

Terry says I’m going nowhere fast
Nobody hears, there's no-one there
Julie wakes to find herself alone
Which comes as no surprise, no surprise
No surprise to be on her own

It's four in the morning
Why don’t you call me
I'm sorry I hurt you
I still want you back
It's four in the morning

Julie wakes to find herself alone
Which comes as no surprise, no surprise
No surprise to be on her own

It's four in the morning
Why don’t you call me
I'm sorry I hurt you
I still want you back
It's four in the morning

Waiting, I’m so tired of waiting

It's four in the morning
Why don’t you call me
I'm sorry I hurt you
I still want you back
It's four in the morning
I know what you’re thinking
You’re alone now
I'm sorry I hurt you
I still want you back

It's four in the morning
Why don’t you call me
I'm so tired of waiting
I still want you back

Mar En Fuga


Mar En Fuga
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Cómo escapar
cómo escapar de esta sombra
que sólo se nombra
en la oscuridad
y echa a andar
esposado a la penumbra
que no se deslumbra
por la claridad
Cómo salir
cómo salir de esta duda
que todo lo anuda
por contradicción
sin elegir
una cara de la luna
pues no está en ninguna
la contestación
Como mar en fuga
entre río y nube
como mar en fuga
que desciende y sube
huyendo siempre de sí misma
pero siempre, pero siempre la misma
mar en fuga
Cómo olvidar
cómo olvidar la memoria
que empuja a su historia
a la soledad
sin recordar
cada noche, cada día
de la biografía
que va haciendo edad
Cómo partir
cómo partir del destrozo
que queda del gozo
por la destrucción
sin impedir
el milagro del latido
que aún sueña, dormido
en el corazón
Como mar en fuga...

Mar E Lua


Mar E Lua
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Amaram o amor urgente
As bocas salgadas pela maresia
As costas lanhadas pela tempestade
Naquela cidade
Distante do mar
Amaram o amor serenado
Das noturnas praias
Levantavam as saias
E se enluaravam de felicidade
Naquela cidade
Que não tem luar
Amavam o amor proibido
Pois hoje é sabido
Todo mundo conta
Grávida de lua
E outra andava nua
Ávida de mar

E foram ficando marcadas
Ouvindo risadas, sentindo arrepios
Olhando pro rio tão cheio de lua
E que continua
Correndo pro mar
E foram correnteza abaixo
Rolando no leito
Engolindo água
Boiando com as algas
Arrastando folhas
Carregando flores
E a se desmanchar
E foram virando peixes
Virando conchas
Virando seixos
Virando areia
Prateada areia
Com lua cheia
E à beira-mar

4 Minus 3 Equals Zero


4 Minus 3 Equals Zero
Composer(s): Lonnie Williams
Performer(s): George Strait



You always said you loved me
And I always believed you did
But now you say you’re leaving
And taking both of the kids

Chorus:
4 minus 3 equals zero
Your leaving just don’t add up
It’s all over for me if you go
Cause I’ll be nothing without your love

The babies are sleeping in the bedroom
They don’t know you’re packing their clothes
At least they didn’t see me crying
When you said that’s the way love goes

(repeat chorus)

4 minus 3 equals zero
Cause I’ll be nothing without your love

Mar


Mar
Composer(s): R. López Méndez; Gabriel Ruíz
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Mar, se me fue
dijo adiós en tu azul lejanía
Mar, sabes bien
como duele perder un amor

Mar, se me fue
dijo adiós en tu azul lejanía
Mar, sabes bien
como duele perder un amor

Siento que llevan tus olas
vago rumor de su voz
pero me quedo en las sombras
con mi desesperación

Mar, se me fue
dijo adiós en tu azul lejanía
mar, sabes bien
como duele perder un amor

Siento que llevan tus olas
vago rumor de su voz
pero me quedo en las sombras
con mi desesperación

Mar, se me fue
dijo adiós en tu azul lejanía
mar, sabes bien
como duele perder un amor

4% Pantomine


4% Pantomine
Composer(s): J.R. Robertson; Van Morrison
Performer(s): The Band



The management said they were sorry
For the inconvenience you are suffering
And Mr. Booking Agent, please have mercy
Don't book the jobs so far apart
We went up to Griffith Park
With a fifth of Johnny Walker red
And smashed it on a rock and wept
While the old couple looked on into the dark

Oh, Richard, tell me if it's poker
Oh, Richard, tell me, who's got the joker and is it poker

Deuces wild, like an only child
I'll see what you got. How much is in the pot
You pay the tips and I'll collect the chips
It's a full house tonight--everybody in town is a loser
Yeah, you bet

The dealer's been dealing me bad hands
From the bottom of the deck without the slightest blush
And I don't know whether to call or check
But right now I feel like I got a royal flush
And my lady didn't show from 'Frisco
But we had to go on with the show
Everybody got stoned--it was a gas, it was a smash
Everybody got wrecked, checked. Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, Belfast cowboy, lay your cards on the grade
Oh, Belfast cowboy, can you call a spade a spade

Oh, Richard, tell me, is the game poker
I can't understand who the fool is that holds this joker
Is it poker

Oh, Belfast cowboy, lay your cards down on the table
Oh, Belfast cowboy, do you think you're able

Mao Et Moa


Mao Et Moa
Composer(s): Clothaire; Nino Ferrer
Performer(s): Nino Ferrer



Si je suis rapide et rusé
Quand je fais mes Mao croisés
Me disait un esquiMao
C'est grâce à la pensée de Mao
S'il est vrai que plaisir d'amour
Ne dure qu'un Maoment très court
Mao je dis qu'un bon Maoment
Vaut bien deux cornes d'éléphants

C'est Mao que j'suis pour Mao contre Liou Chao-Chi
J'ai mon bréviaire de Révolutionnaire
Dans tous les bouges Moa je bois des Quarts de rouge
Le quart de rouge c'est la boisson du garde rouge

Lorsque je dîne avec Thérèse
Je prends des œufs durs Maonaises
Thérèse prend un gelati Maotta
Le chat prend du Maou pour les chats
Le dimanche en Automaobile
On va visiter la Sicile
Ses plages et ses Maonuments
Quand on rentre on est bien content

C'est Mao que j'suis pour Mao contre Liou Chao-Chi
J'ai mon bréviaire de Révolutionnaire
Dans tous les bouges Moa je bois des Quarts de rouge
Le quart de rouge c'est la boisson du garde rouge

Si j'aime bien la marche à pied
C'est à cause de la société
Protectrice des Animao
Qui protège mon Chamao
Si la chromolithographie
Engendre la Maonotonie
La Maontagne ça a du bon
Et c'est normal car c'est Normaond
Monsieur Maorice a été maordu
Par un guitariste barbu
Monsieur Maorice est Maoribond
Gai gai dansons le rigodon

Si je suis rapide et rusé
Quand je fais mes Mao croisés

40 Jaar


40 Jaar
Composer(s): Armath; Denis Peirs
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



Ik dacht dat het nooit zo ver zou komen
Maar op een dag dan sta je daar
's Morgens voor je spiegel
Te kijken naar je eerste grijze haar
De radio brult een nieuwste topsong
God, hoe heet die groep ook weer
De jongste zal de naam wel kennen
Want vader weet het zo niet meer
Net voor je't vragen wou
Brengt vrouwlief hemd en das
Is het echt dezelfde vrouw
Waar je ooit verliefd op was

40 jaar niet te geloven
40 jaar een zee van tijd
40 jaar voorbijgevlogen
40 jaar je bent ze kwijt

De meisjes van achttien worden alsmaar jonger
Doen dingen die je zelf nooit durft te doen
Je staat ze stiekem na te staren
Maar je houdt je vast aan je fatsoen
Je idealen zijn allang vervlogen
Geen slogans meer je kijkt wel uit
Je hebt te lang voor niets gevochten
Links of rechts wat maakt het uit
's Avonds kom je weer eens thuis
Het eten staat al klaar
Straks weer geeuwen voor de buis
En dan weer slapen naast elkaar

40 jaar niet te geloven
40 jaar een zee van tijd
40 jaar voorbijgevlogen
40 jaar je bent ze kwijt

40 jaar niet te geloven
40 jaar een zee van tijd
40 jaar voorbijgevlogen
40 jaar je bent ze kwijt

40 jaar niet te geloven
40 jaar een zee van tijd
40 jaar voorbijgevlogen
40 jaar je bent ze kwijt

Manzanar


Manzanar
Composer(s): Tom Russell
Performer(s): Tom Russell; Laurie Lewis



He said my name is Nakashima
And I'm a proud American
I came here in '27
From my homeland of Japan

And we picked your grapes and oranges
Made some money, bought a store
Until 1942
Pearl Harbor and the war

Came those relocation orders
They took our house, the store, the car
Then they drove us to the desert
To a place called Manzanar

The Spanish word for "apple orchard"
Though we saw no apple trees
Just the rows of prison barracks
And barbed wired boundaries

And we dream of apple blossoms
waving free beneath the stars
Till we wake up in the desert
the prisoners of Manzanar
Manzanar...

Fifty years, they've all but vanished
And now I am an old man
But I don't regret the day
That I came here from Japan

But on moonlit winter nights
I often wish upon a star
That I'd forget the shame and sorrow
That I felt at Manzanar

And we dream of apple blossoms
waving free beneath the stars
Till we wake up in the desert
the prisoners of Manzanar
Manzanar...

400 Years


400 Years
Composer(s): Bob Marley; Peter Tosh
Performer(s): Bob Marley & the Wailers;
Fringe Deities; The Moods Unlimited Orch.;
Rastafari Elders; Peter Tosh; The Upsetters



400 years (400 years, 400 years. wo-o-o-o)
And it’s the same -
The same (wo-o-o-o) philosophy
I’ve said it’s four hundred years
(400 years, 400 years. wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
Look, how long (wo-o-o-o)
And the people they (wo-o-o-o) still can’t see
Why do they fight against the poor youth of today?
And without these youths, they would be gone -
All gone astray

Come on, let’s make a move
(make a move, make a move. wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o)
I can (wo-o-o-o) see time (wo-o-o-o) - time has come
And if-a fools don’t see
(fools don’t see, fools don’t see. wo-o-o-o)
I can’t save the youth
The youth (wo-o-o-o) is gonna be strong
So, won’t you come with me
I’ll take you to a land of liberty
Where we can live - live a good, good life
And be free

Look how long: 400 years, (400 years, 400 years) -
Way too long! (wo-o-o-o)
That’s the reason my people (wo-o-o-o) - my people can’t see.
Said, it’s four hundred long years - (400 years, 400 years. wo-o-o-o)
Give me patience (wo-o-o-o) - same philosophy

It’s been 400 years, (400 years, 400 years)
Wait so long! wo-o-o-o, wo-o-o-o
How long? 400 long, long years

Many Tears Ago


Many Tears Ago
Composer(s): Winfield Scott
Performer(s): Connie Francis; Ray Condo & His Ricochets



They said your cheating heart will make me cry
And like a fool I gave it a try
I should've listened when they told me so
Many many tears ago

But I could not believe the things they said
Because my heart over ruled my head
I should've listened when they told me so
Many many tears ago

I laughed out loud when they told me
That you had someone else
But your cheating heart has shown me
That I was foolin myself

I know it's too late for a brand new start
For I have cried you out of my heart
I should've listened when they told me so
Many many tears ago

I laughed out loud when they told me
That you had someone else
But your cheating heart has shown me
That I was foolin myself

I know it's too late for a brand new start
For I have cried you out of my heart
I should've listened when they told me so
I should've listened when they told me so
Many many tears ago

Many Rivers To Cross


Many Rivers To Cross
Composer(s): Jimmy Cliff
Originally performed by: Jimmy Cliff
Covered by various other artists



Many rivers to cross
But I can`t seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it`s only my will
That keeps me alive
I`ve been licked, washed up for years and
I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won`t leave me alone
It`s such a drag to be on your own
My woman left and she didn't say why
Well I guess I have to try
Many rivers to cross but just where to begin
I`m playing for time
There`ll be times I find myself thinking
Of committing some dreadful crime
I`ve got many rivers to cross
But I can`t seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it`s only my will
That keeps me alive
I`ve been licked, washed up for years and
I merely survive because of my pride

40th And Plum


40th And Plum
Performer(s): Wayne Raney



Now I come from the country
But boy I'm a-tellin' you
We treat our neighbors better
Than you city-slickers do
One met me on the street one day
And he started pokin' fun
When he asked me on which street I lived
I said 40th and Plum

He said where?

Well, I said 40 miles from town
And plumb back in the sticks
Out where we raise gentlemen
Even though you call us hicks
Now you may think I'm ig-nor-ant
But boy we sure have fun
A-way out in the country
On 40th and Plum

Well, I went into a bar one night
To have myself a ball
I ordered a double zombie
That's the last that I recall
The bartender wanted to take me home
And he asked me where I's from
I looked at him thru bloodshot eyes
Said 40th and Plum

He said where?

Well, I said 40 miles from town
And plumb back in the sticks
Out where we raise gentlemen
Even though you call us hicks
Now you may think I'm ig-nor-ant
But boy we sure have fun
A-way out in the country
On 40th and Plum

Well, he threw me out into the street
And boy, I blew my top
Somebody said you better quiet-en down
I didn't know he was a cop
He said, "You drunk, I'll take you home
Just where did you come from?"
I shoved him back, yelled in his face
Said 40th and Plum

He said where?

Well, I said 40 miles from town
And plumb back in the sticks
Out where we raise gentlemen
Even though you call us hicks
Now you may think I'm ig-nor-ant
But boy we sure have fun
A-way out in the country
On 40th and Plum

42nd Street (Golden Earring)


42nd Street
Composer(s): Barry Hay; George Kooymans; Roelfzema
Performer(s): Golden Earring



Spiraling leapers, wearing Nike sneakers
Some of them laugh, some of them sing
Some of them don't do a goddamn thing
Trip-skipping drifters, grafters and lifters
Chicks with big tits, school boys with zits
Moonlight circus of earthly delights
Pimpmobile cruising the soft velvet night
Deals going down, midnight in town

Down into the subways, the underground tunnels
A musician is playing, a drunk stumbles and mumbles
Out in the park it's scary with frights
Somebody shot out all the streetlights
Hookers and bookies, floozies and boozers
All kinds of misfits, perverts and losers
Out of the limo that looks like a boat
The pimp steps out in a mink fur coat
Sporting a Fedora, that creates its own aura
A ruby-tooth grin and a diamond stick pin
A deal's going down this side of town
People walk on fleet feet
On the way down 42nd Street

Except for the bums, down for the count
That one's dead but no one's found out
And look at the bitch, with her dress up ass
When she moves that thing, she must move it fast
Cop with a nightstick, checking around
A neon lit junkie slides to the ground
Here comes a flasher, a jogger, a punk
Check out that guy, drunk as a skunk
Blinking, reflection, lights melt in the rain
The sidewalks are empty, nothing's the same
4 A.M. people are crashing
Where the hookers are huddled
Colored raindrops are splashing
The deals have gone down, the bimbo's split town
Burned from the hustle, burned from the hype
But under the lights, I'm feeling alright
On 42nd Street, it's just another night

Many A New Day


Many A New Day
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Joan Roberts;
and various other artists



(Laurey)
Why should a woman who is healthy and strong
Blubber like a baby if her man goes away
A-weepin' and a-wailin' how he's done her wrong?
That's one thing you'll never hear me say

Never gonna think that the man I lose
Is the only man among men
I'll snap my fingers to show I don't care
I'll buy me a brand new dress to wear
I'll scrub my neck and I'll brush my hair
And start all over again

Many a new face will please my eye
Many a new love will find me
Never have I once looked back to sigh
Over the romance behind me
Many a new day will dawn
Before I do

Many a light lad may kiss and fly
A kiss gone by is bygone
Never have I asked an August sky
"Where has last July gone?"
Never have I wandered through the rye
Wonderin' where has some guy gone
Many a new day will dawn
Before I do

(Together)
Many a new face will please my eye
Many a new love will find me
Never have I once looked back to sigh
Over the romance behind me
Many a new day will dawn
Before I do

(Laurey)
Never have I chased the honeybee
Who carelessly cajoled me
Somebody else just as sweet as he
Cheered me and consoled me
Never have I wept into my tea
Over the deal someone doled me

(Together)
Many a new day will dawn

(Laurey)
Many a red sun will set
Many a blue moon will shine
Before I do

(Together)
Many a new face will please my eye
Many a new love will find me
Never have I once looked back to sigh
Over the romance behind me
Many a new day will dawn

(Laurey)
Many a red sun will set
Many a blue moon will shine
Before I do

Noir C'Est Noir


Noir C'Est Noir
English & Italian Titles: Black Is Black; Di Me Cosa Ne Sai?
Composer(s): M. Pasquin; Steve Wadey; Tony Hayes
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Noir c'est noir
Il n'y a plus d'espoir
Oui gris c'est gris
Et c'est fini, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ça me rend fou j'ai cru à ton amour
Et je perds tout
Je suis dans le noir
J'ai du mal à y croire
Au gris de l'ennui
Et je te crie, oh, oh, oh, oh
Je ferai tout pour sauver notre amour
Tout jusqu'au bout

Si un mot peut tout changer je le trouverai
Il ne faut plus en douter, il faut essayer
Noir c'est noir
Il n'est jamais trop tard
Pour moi du gris j'n'en veux plus dans ma vie, oh, oh
Ça me rend fou de perdre ton amour
Je te l'avoue

Maintenant pour le sauver à tout je suis prêt
A l'instant de la vérité pourquoi en douter
Noir c'est noir il me reste l'espoir
Oui gris c'est gris je n'veux plus d'ennuis, oh, oh
Ça vaut le coup de sauver notre amour
Rien que pour nous
De sauver notre amour
Rien que pour nous
